I wake up to my phone going off but having no sense to find where I last had it. As I stumble around half awake I find it in the duffle bag Batman gave me last night. "H-hello?" I groggily answer as I look to the clock on the wall for the time. It was only 6 in the morning. "Hiya! I knew I'd find you!" I knew that high pitched voice anywhere now and I giggle a bit as I reply back, "Harley, I'm guessing you got my number from cats phone?" I get up with a grunt and walk to the bathroom. I swear every move I make feels like I'm getting closer to death. "Yeah! I heard ya met batsy, so whatchya thoughts?" I giggle as I start getting cloths and stuff for a shower, "he's quiet and mean looking, he's strong, he's okay I guess." I hear her sigh and picture her rolling her eyes as she goes on about her experiences with him. " one time he just attacked me for no reason! Although me and j were trying to blow up a building..." I giggle and roll my eyes, "well Harley I love talking to ya but ive got to take a shower." you can hear her get sad but perks up as she says "well can I come over some day?!? We can have a slumber party! Oh and take a bath it will help more I promise!" I smile and assure her we will hang out soon and we say our goodbyes. I go to start my shower and decide to take Harleys advice and I put bath salts in it as well as bubbles and I start undressing. I turn on some music on my phone as I get in the tub and relax. I close my eyes and think back to the old days.
Le flashback
"98, 99, and 100. Not our best but pretty good." I set the money on the broken down wooden table as I look to cat and ivy. We had just gotten done with pickpocketing for the day, that's how we usually got our food. I give most of it to cat and ivy due to the fact I don't eat much anyways. I start splitting the money as best I can when j runs through the door of the abandoned warehouse we have called our own. As j stumbles to us I notice his face is bloodied and I jump up and run to him, "what the hell happened?!" He starts saying something when 3 older guys bust through the doors. "Hey! Y 'all with him?!" J tries to stand bravely in front of us girls but I get in front of him and cross my arms, "if we are? What the hell did you do to him?! He's 14 you guys are like 18!!" The main guy points to j with his bony finger and with a pointed look says "he stole our money!" I laugh and look at j then the guys, "this guy? He's a sweetheart, you guys on the other hand are assholes that beat up kids! Leave, now." The main man runs his hand through his nappy black hair and laughs evilly, "that's not gonna happen, sweetheart. He's gonna pay, even if I have to use you to get to him." I raise an eyebrow and walk closer to him, my heels clicking on the floor intimidatingly and I smirk, "and what makes you think I'll let you do that?" He tries to stealthily grab me but I twist his arm behind his back and whisper in his ear, "big mistake." I kick the back of his knees causing him to fall and his friends come to attack me when cat knocks one to the floor and ivy throws a vase at the other knocking him down. I make the main guy look to j and speak with hatred in my voice, "you see that boy, he's with us, and if you ever fuck with him again." I laugh I bit evilly, "look around, next time you three will be dead. Leave." They all run out once we let them go and I look to j to see him staring at me. "Are you okay?" J pulls a wad of cash out of his left pocket then another out of his right. I stare at him in awe and see an evil smirk appear on his face. "How?" I ask shakily, to which he throws the money on the table and smirks more, "I got them to trust me to do a raid then took the money, well some." I hug him tightly then smack the back of his head playfully as I pull back, " don't be so dangerous next time, and never not tell us what your doing." I smirk and ruffle his brown hair as we all sit down to count the new total. "All together, 1000." That's when I looked at j in a new light, he was stronger now. Braver then when I first met him.
End of le flashback
I sit up, startled by my phone going off. I look at it to see an unknown number and ignore it. As I get relaxed again my phone goes off again, only to be the number again. "Hello?" The other end is quiet for a few minutes until a familiar terrifying laugh comes through. "Well, well, well, haha, looks like I've found your number sweetums. How's that bath?" I gasp and close the curtain on instinct only to hear more laughing. "How in the hell did you get my number?!" My voice is shaky and I start getting out of the bath and wraps a towel around me. "Well I have my ways. Nooooowww to find where you live, it looks rather nice, an apartment?" Joker drawls out slowly as I look around to see how he's seeing my place. "Ho-?!" "Now, now, now, enough with the questions. A little birdy told me he saw you with a little bat, now what would a little girl like yourself be doing with a filthy vermin?" He sounds playful and it's wearing on my nerves. "Its none of your business what I do so I suggest you butt out of it." He laughs again only to come back with a menacing growl, "no one tells me what to do. See you soon princess." As I think he's about to hang up he excitedly says something that eats at me. "Oh! And try to remember that night again. All of it. Because we both know, I'm not the one to blame. Oh, and you look better than ever, even with the bruises." He laughs as he hangs up and I'm left a shaking mess. I look down at myself to see all the bruises I must have got sparing with bats. I sit on the toilet and hold my head. Remember what night? He's not to blame? What the hell is he talking about?!
*what is he talking about? Hope y 'all enjoyed*
